The Caryatid (or female bust) featured on this pitcher’s handle was a signature feature for the Meriden Britannia Company during the 1860s and 1870s. This model corresponds to the figural hollowware designs produced by the Meriden Britannia Co. and documented in their post-Civil War illustrated catalogs.

All Sales Final
All items available at Laney on the Hunt have been thoughtfully selected for their quality, beauty, age, and utility. Most have lived several lives before they make their way into my inventory, and as such, will show signs of use and wear appropriate for their age. I will do my best to share product photos that convey a clear and accurate representation of an item’s condition. Please be sure to carefully view each one, as due to the unique nature of antique pieces, all sales are final.
